FS-UAE 2.1.x development series, which is kicked off with the new 2.1.0dev version. I will *probably* attach "dev" to all version numbers in the development series just to clarify that it is a development version.

FS-UAE 2.1.0dev http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/download-devel

- Merged updated emulation core from WinUAE 2.5.0beta21.
- FS-UAE mman updated to work more like the WinUAE implementation.
- Ejecting CD images works now, enabled menu option.
- Added auto-fire toggle mechanism to F12 menu.
- Auto-fire support, new boolean options joystick_port_x_autofire.
- Added support for Amiga mouse wheel and middle mouse button.
- (Launcher) Added button to configure auto-fire per joystick port.

This version implements some nice and requested features Emulation core is updated from the latest available code from Toni Wilen, with some nice emulation accuracy improvements!

Because of the code merge, and because the mman module has been rewritten, there is a greater chance than usual that something does not work. -But it looks good in my tests.

To get a mman behavior which mirrors the WinUAE code more closely, malloc is used to "reserve" memory on non-Windows platforms, and this relies on over-commit features in the Linux/Mac kernels where the memory is not actually allocated before the pages are accessed (not tested on FreeBSD yet). This is a bit experimental, so let me know if it crashes

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.1.1dev:

    Merged updated emulation core from WinUAE 2.5.0beta23.
    Gamepad button “left trigger” toggles auto-fire, GUI message is displayed when auto-fire mode is toggled.
    New option hard_drive_x_file_system to specify file system handler, for instance path to SmartFilesystem.
    New option hard_drive_x_controller to specify HD controller.
    New option hard_drive_x_type to force RDB mode if RDB cannot be autodetected (unpartitioned/blank disk image).
    (Launcher) hard_drive_x can be http(s) URL and the HD will be downloaded on demand and used like a local file. URL must end with a “normal file name”.
    (Launcher) Use wxversion.select to ensure 2.8 is used if also older versions of wxPython are installed.

This is a really useful function, as it may see the resurection of the Amiga Online gaming section of this forum.....

It *should*  mean we can have access to any WHD game to be played online without needing to re-host it, since we can use the already hosted version over at www.whdownload.com

No more looking through huge lists of files before each game.

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.1.3dev:

http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/download-devel

• New option “mouse_speed” – set mouse speed in percentage(1-500).
  
• Escape key can be used to navigate back and exit FS-UAE menu.
• Use new state subdirs based on configuration name ny default. New options state_dir and state_dir_name to tweak the new behavior.
• Remove use of “Floppy Overlays” and “Flash Memory” dirs, save files in state directory instead (same as launcher already does).
• Will autoload saved state if “Saved State.uss” exists in state dir.
• Merged updated emulation core from WinUAE 2.5.0beta24.
• New option middle_click_ungrab (can be set to 0).
• Updated translations: pl [grimi], de [nexusle].
• Patch amiga-os-310.rom to default A4000 rom on demand.
• Removed the default slight gamma correction which was applied before.
• (Launcher) Automatically fill in WHDLoad Arguments when zip file is loaded.
• (Launcher) Screenshots/titles/covers don’t need to be put in letter subdirs.
• (Launcher) Use direct subdirs in save states dir, don’t add letter unless an old state dir already exists.
• (Launcher) Added many more options to the settings dialog, including the new mouse speed option.
• (Launcher) Updated translations: pl [grimi], de [nexusle].

The state dir change is not backwards compatible unfortunately, but I think it is for the better, and makes FS-UAE standalone behavior same as using FS-UAE with the Launcher. No data is lost though, old floppy overlays and state files are kept where they are, and they can be moved other to the new per-configuration state dir when necessary. (The per-configuration state dir is created while FS-UAE is running, and is deleted on shutdown if there is no state). If you use FS-UAE Launcher, you should not notice anything.
